Arron Banks’ G7 fail

With Theresa May’s Chequers proposal unpopular across the board, there are many politicians and would-be politicians now asking themselves: could I do a better job? For quite a lot of these people, the answer is ‘yes’.

However, this afternoon Leave.EU’s Arron Banks offered a reminder that sometimes the basics are harder than they look. The Brexit campaigner took to social media to correct Chuka Umunna for sharing a graph detailing growth in G7 countries. Banks’s complaint? Canada, the USA and Japan aren’t in the G7. The problem? They are.

Canada , the USA & Japan aren’t in the G7, dopey https://t.co/7cgHisXAgs

Probably for the best that it was Vote Leave rather than Banks’s Leave.EU won the official Leave campaign designation in the EU referendum campaign…
